Cuban Oregano LIVE PLANT
Plectranthus Amboinicus

This herb goes by many names, such as: Mother of All Herbs, Spanish thyme, Mexican mint, Puerto Rican oregano, Dominican Oregano, and Indian borage. 

Listing is for one rooted plant. Plants are grown in 72 cell trays so that they will be rooted but small enough for efficient shipping.
***Please note these plants grow quick so sometimes I have to cut the top off (see last photo in the listing) to fit it in the shipping box. But no worries, they will grow back quickly and frequent "topping" promotes more side branching and leaf production. ***

Cuban Oregano is neither an oregano or Cuban. Its actually part of the mint family and is native to parts of Asia, Africa, and India. This semi-tropical herb thrives in hot climates when many other herbs cannot. The broad leaves have a soft fuzzy sensation with a strong mint/oregano/lemon type of flavor. Its high medicinal and is used to make tea, dried as a seasoning, or added to marinades for various meats. Like other members of the mint family, this is a vigorous plant that spreads when its stems touch the soil and get rooted. However, the stems are much thicker making it easier to gram and pull them out if needed. In extreme heat, like my Florida garden, it grows much better in partial shade to shield it from the afternoon sun. Therefore, I grow it under my fruit trees. 

This is a tropical plant that does not like the cold. Protect smaller/baby plants when temperatures drop below 40F. Once mature and established they can endure a little more cold, but expect some leaf damage. If your in zones 9 and up, it will survive the winter. Zones 8 and below will need to bring in doors for the winter. Heavily prune down the plant, put in a pot, and bring in doors. Or you could take a bunch of cuttings and root them in water during the winter.

When can I start harvesting leaves? Leaves can be harvested right away. But I recommend allowing this starter plant to grow stems that are at least over 1FT long before harvesting leaves.

Growing Conditions
USDA Hardiness Zones: 9-11
Does not like temperatures below 40F. 
Perennial evergreen - will lose leaves if exposed to too much cold
Sun: Full sun or partial shade
Soil: Everything grows best in soil that is heavy in composted organic matter BUT this plant grows just fine in a variety of soils without amendments, like my native Florida sandy soil.
Water: Monitor young plants and keep consistent water. Once established, the can survive periods of drought.
Fertilizer: Not really necessary for mature plants, but for young/smaller plants I recommend mixing in blood meal into the planting hole which is high in nitrogen and promotes lush leafy growth.

Perfect Size - No Squeakers (yay)
Color: Pink, Size: MINI 1.75" - 4 Pack
My 9 lb. Chi-Mix adores her little toy balls. Perfect for her small size (or a medium dog) and full of bounce. I didn't want squeakers because I knew it would drive me nuts. No squeakers in these balls. Perfect training tool to teach fetch. Perfect toys to have play time with your pooch.

Nice and bright
Color: Orange, Size: MINI 1.75" - 4 Pack
These are great to fit the ball shooter I use with my dogs. Color orange makes it easy to find in grass or dirt. Problem is I have a chewer. He loves to chew on the ball and eat the orange fiber. So, the balls get wrecked and I have to replace. Gets costly. I wish they made this same size ball without the orange furry tennis-ball like covering. Maybe the toys would last longer.

Safe for dogs
Color: Green, Size: Regular 2.5" - 4 Pack
Much better for dogs than used/dirty tennis balls. Worth the money for safety.

Easily breakable coating/fur
Color: Pink, Size: MINI 1.75" - 4 Pack
I wanted to love this item but sadly my dog really messed up the coating/fur on these balls so easily, other than that great product but with her being a puppy I got these smaller ones for that reason and I’m absolutely scared of her destroying things and getting stomach issues, so it’s just not worth it to me.
